When you wake up one morning to find yourself outdated
You know it's time to check out THE SCENE
So You make strides to pick sides, to get resaturated
You know it's time to break it up clean
Falling prey, turning grey, turning in your gravy train
I think you think you know what I mean
To backslide, sliding back, off the beaten quarter track
You know it's time to check out THE SCENE
Cos when you're out of THE SCENE, you want to be in
And when you're into THE SCENE, You want to check out again
And again
When you're time comes a-calling with the order of the hour
You know it's time to check out THE SCENE
The you try to turn and run from turning on the power
You might do well to wake from your dream
Jumping ship, shipping out, shaping up the lackabout
I think you'd better turn on the steam
Dancing light, getting tight, up tight on the tight rope
You know it's time to check out THE SCENE
Cos when you're out of THE SCENE, you want to be in
And when you're into THE SCENE, You want to check out again
And again
THE SCENE I've seen, seems to be obscenly seen
By those who make a scene out of THE SCENE
When your tempurature is rising like the rising of a tide pool
You know it's time to check out THE SCENE
Then you populize, tutorize, re-enroll in fishing school
You hope to be the crop of the cream
In the eyes that crutinize the herd of shapely sheepling
You want to be the heard and the seen
Undercover, cover up, underneath the overdub
You know it's time to check out THE SCENE
Cos when you're out of THE SCENE, you want to be in
And when you're into THE SCENE, You want to check out again
And again
